Paint Chair Fabric for Fresh Look
How to paint chair fabric is the perfect way to revive a chair. You can experiment with different fabrics to see what works best. For today’s project, how to paint chair fabric, we will focus on canvas material.
There are several types of fabric that you could try:
- cotton
- denim
- silk
Our main object is trying to restore a chair in your home using paint instead of reupholstering the piece of furniture.
Test the Paint on the fabric
First, there are a few tips that you will want to follow before you paint chair fabric.
- Test the paint on your fabric
- Purchase paint that is made for fabric
- Experiment before you do a huge project
- Make sure you like how the paint dries on the fabric.
- Try using water with the paint in order to soften the surface before you begin
Second, we would always recommend that you test your paint on the fabric in a small section before you commit to a project.
Third, if you aren’t sure you want to commit to a large project, you could purchase a smaller fabric surface to experiment on before painting a larger piece of upholstery.
